Wine country · WINE TOURS IN SWITZERLAND
The 4 best wine tours in Switzerland you can book today, with what each pours, how long it runs and who it suits. Number one is top for a reason; start there.
Meet your French- or English-speaking crew near the Paquis crane, opposite Grand Hotel Geneva. This one-hour small-boat cruise serves wine, cheese, and snacks while showing you the United Nations Office, Bain des Paquis, Jet d’Eau, Mont Blanc, and the Alps.
“Great activity, must do! We were offered refills of wine and the guide was knowledgeable about Geneva.”
Cruise Lake Geneva in a small, zero-emission solar boat with wine, cheese, crackers, and aperitif snacks. Your guide may be Christoph or another Swisstours host. Expect close views of the Jet d’Eau, Bains des Pâquis, parks, the UN district, and the Alps, but no guaranteed commentary.
“The cruise did not happened, they let us know through the email only 30 minutes before it was cancelled”
Ride through central Zurich in a private electric eTukTuk while your guide points out Bahnhofstrasse, the Old Town, Fraumünster, Grossmünster, and the Rathaus. During the 90-minute outing, you eat Swiss cheese fondue with bread and potatoes and share a bottle of white wine.
“It was a fun experience running around in a custom electric tuk-tuk. I knew we were going to do a traditional cheese fondue, but I had no idea that it was going to be in the tuk-tuk as we're driving around the city. We also received a good lesson on how to to correctly eat a Swiss fondue.”
Spend two hours on Lake Geneva aboard a CGN cruise from Lausanne to Vevey and back, passing Lavaux vineyards, Rivaz, Cully, Lutry, and Pully. You can order local red or white wine, use the CGN Tours audio app, and upgrade to first class for more flexible seating.
“I really enjoyed this experience. We went on a boat in Lake Geneva and it was a good ride, seeing the amazing views. I recommend it for someone who comes to Lausanne and wants to have a nice and different experience.”
Cellar doors, tasting rooms and the long lunches in between.
